“…Therefore, this categorization is unidirectional and places one in a permanent state of exception, outside of the regular operation of law, a concept developed by many critics of the American War on Terror, including Judith Butler (2009) and Giorgio Agamben (2005). Reinforcing the alignment of the terrorist with death, Achille Mbembe classifies this state of exception as an exercise in necropolitics (2003): as opposed to Foucault's concept of biopolitics, necropolitics describes the social administration of death and decay, and the process by which states divide populations between lives worth cultivating, who are recognized as citizens subject to the law, and killable populations consigned to neglect and extermination, beyond the recognition of the law (Haritaworn et al, 2014;Lamble, 2013;Mbembe, 2003).…”

This article charts changes in the representation and encoding of superhero closeting metaphors from US television programs Smallville (2001–2011) to The Flash (2014–). Many theorists have noted that superheroes’ hidden secret identities resemble closeting. However, because of legal and social changes in LGBTQ acceptance, as well as intensification of the data-driven security state, closeting on The Flash connects to a fundamentally different set of algorithmic neoliberal social processes. As a result, The Flash portrays a form of post-shame closeting wherein secrecy is a practice of necessary self-defense against mechanized necropolitical violence and social erasure based on unpredictable data markers of risk.

Border Crossing Assemblages: Differentiated Travelers and the Viapolitics of FlixBus

The critical border scholar William Walters argues that although vehicles of mobility (e.g. coaches, boats, and airplanes) are important features of mobility and migration, there is relatively little attention paid to the relation between materiality and migration. This research follows Walters' notion of viapolitics to approach the bordering of mobility from the middle, from the perspective of the vehicle and not just the state, to gain a more theoretical and comprehensive understanding of human mobility and its entanglement with powerrelations. Building upon assemblage theory, mobility studies, and contemporary border studies this research aims to lay bare the viapolitics of FlixBus. Drawing upon a mobile ethnography, that combines my own FlixBus travels with the analyses of policy documents and international agreements, I illustrate how FlixBus represents and reproduces scattered borderscapes. The analysis results in a concluding call for differentiated understanding of body/ vehicle relations in order to understand better the bordering of mobility within the European Union.

“…This process of exorcism—the move towards the erasure of forms of queer life through the celebration of the livability of others (see Haritaworn et al . :5) is, however, never‐ending, not only because the bakla remains a vital part of the city, but because it must be recalled in order for it to be chased away . It must serve as a reminder of what queerness once was, a sign of the past that legitimates faith in the possibility of becoming “modern”.…”

The Queer Afterlife of the Postcolonial City: (Trans)gender Performance and the War of Beautification

This paper examines how queer practices of transformation enable the preservation and perversion of the logics, aspirations, and violences that animated Imelda Marcos's "war of urban beautification". It traces conceptual overlaps between the notions of truth and beauty that underpinned Imelda's faith in architectural modernism and which operate in the sex/gender tradition of kabaklaan. Using the case study of the Manila Film Center, a formerly abandoned and famously haunted Marcos-era building that has been transformed into the host site of a "transgender" revue, the paper demonstrates how queerness, necropower, architecture, and dreams of urban and global modernity come together through the spatial effects of authoritarian power.
